EDITORS COMMENTS

The Amerique Continent, a land of contrasting narratives and historical events. From the haunting sale of slaves in Virginia in 1861 to the comedic genius of Buster Keaton captured in "The Spy" movie still from 1929, this continent has witnessed both tragedy and entertainment. In the early 1900s, three boxes illustrated the adventures of Buster Brown and his loyal dog Tiger, captivating readers with their mischievous escapades. Meanwhile, across the ocean in Brazil, slaves were transported aboard negriers, enduring unimaginable suffering as they lay on the ground while white men carried a sick or deceased slave. A stark reminder of humanity's darkest chapter. During post-Civil War America (1861-1865), carpetbaggers arrived from Nordic lands to occupy defeated territories or exploit political positions for personal gain. These opportunists clashed with local electors who fought to protect their rights and rebuild their communities amidst turmoil. Amidst these struggles emerged illustrations like "My Mother 2" (1870) depicting tender maternal love and innocence embodied by an illustration from that era. The same period also saw car traffic congesting Broadway Avenue in New York City - a bustling metropolis even then. As scandals rocked the Republic - Panama, Baker, Egypt - Marianne faced them head-on while finding solace in art's honor according to Willette's caricature from 1901. Luxury tourism flourished too; passengers aboard cruise ships indulged themselves with distractions like reading rooms overlooking breathtaking views such as Yosemite Valley Lake in California. Lastly, Uncle Tom's Box depicted a chilling scene at the slave market based on Harriet Beecher Stowe's influential novel. This Liebig chromolithography serves as a poignant reminder of how literature can shed light on society's injustices.
